This looks reasonable.

I'll suggest using the Glacier Photo collection for a use case for several
reasons:
1.  It seems to be the de facto case study we've been using
2.  It has both digital objects (the photos) and physical objects (the
original photos)
3.  It has much less versioning complexity (unless we do a use case
that includes scientific processing of the digital images.

In looking at the Wiki, I agree with Mark on the difference between
provenance and context.  We need some concrete illustrations of
the differences between them.  Also, in talking with Alice, she suggested
that "metadata is data that leads to data" -- which I think might be a
more useful definition than "data about data".
